As Vice President for business systems I was responsible for leading and ensuring the efficient and effective operation of four of AHSIS’ departments. The Business Intelligence & Data Warehouse department developed and deployed a wide range of management reports for use throughout the enterprise. The Physician Systems department deployed and supported the NextGen physician practice management and EMR systems for employed physicians. The Financial & Administrative Systems department supported virtually all non-clinical information systems used throughout the enterprise as well as the organization’s home care information system. The Project Management Office planned and managed the deployment of new applications and significant application upgrades for the enterprise. I led these groups, was the company’s liaison to their system vendors, and was the company’s liaison to regional and hospital executives relative to the groups’ various initiatives.

I reported to the Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer of AHSIS.

I contributed to achieving enterprise goals, successful completion of designated information systems initiatives, customer satisfaction, employee satisfaction, and community service.
